Skylover can consider third party lenses like tamron or sigma 70-200 f2.8 if price of nikkor 70-300 is around the same price for the third party 70-200..

Tokina 11-16 f2.8
Tokina 16-50 f2.8
Well, I actually wanted to go for the prime 35mm too, but after some consideration with my in-the-back scenes shifu, I decided to go for the 17-55, 17-50, 16-50, 18-50 f2.8s range.
so instead of my previous wishlist setup:
(1) 17-50 f2.8 range
(2) 35mm f2.0
(3) 50mm f1.8
(4) 85mm f1.8
I decided to skip the 35mm, and sell my 50 1.8 and 18-135, so my final setup
(1) Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC
(2) Canon 85mm f1.8
For UWA, I don't intend to spend additional $$$ to buy a UWA lens, I would buy a UWA converter, 0.45x which means my lens 17-50, at 17 X 0.45..
Zoom lens, I don't intend to buy, I can easily borrow a 70-200 f2.8 IS USM L II from my next door neighbour ya.

At the end of the day, after let's say 2-3 years of shooting, most people who own 5-8 lens will tend to use only 2 lenses most of the time.
Every shoot, will you carry total 8 lenses ? I guess not. Unless you are a professional shooter.
So, I guess a zoom with constant aperture 2.8 and a prime 1.8 will be fine.

Cleon, did you have a nice poison session ?
juz buy my first priority bag.. now my shoulder feels a lot lighter..
Brand?
I every week go,used to it already:bsmilie:
Now thinking of getting a plate for my 70-200 but don't know if i should get a Markins or Benro:dunno:
I'm happy with my kit lens actually.. Zoom lens not necessary cause if really need to use I will juz rent.
will consider Tokina 11-16 f2.8 instead of 12-24 or 10-24 depend how it goes.
35mm on D90 is about 45 - 50mm on a crop lens.. but most likely i will go for 35mm f1.8 than f1.4 due to the pricing than juz 1/4 f stop. not worth it.
Actually I wan to really test out different between 35 and 85mm.. wonder which is better for Portraits.:think:
hmm.. den i better go for 35mm and e most 50mm.
lolx.. i will poison u tml.. wahahahahha..You so poisonous:sticktong
Ok going to sleep now...talk again during tmr's outing
Or maybe get a 17-50 2.8 like what OB is doing?
duno leh.. I need to test lens den can decide.. i got a lot of lens in my list wan to try not buy..
need to go through QA test first den QC den can decide..:think:

1 portrait lens is enough already..
however, a 35mm prime and a 85mm prime is a good combination.

Yes, in fact I feel that a 17-50 2.8 and a 85mm 1.8 is a very very good combination. for street use 17-50 part 1, then switch over 85mm prime, shoot part 2..
hmm.. bt 85 on a crop lens is like 125mm.. like tt shoot half body will haf to move quite a distance away..

thats cos, if u have a 17-50, u have already cover 28mm 35mm 50mm.. 85mm is an additional add on.
However, whereas canon or nikkor, the 85mm prime is definitely an ultra sharp lens.
